Question

Reva has some shapes made of cardboard. These shapes are a star, circle, kite, arrow, and triangle. She has 4 pieces of each shape.
She then arranges the shapes one by one in three out of four blocks as shown below.


Find which of the patterns will follow in the $4^{th}$ block.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C


Noticing all the blocks carefully, we can say that the position of the triangle remains the same in all the blocks.

⇒ Comparing the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ blocks, we find:
The shapes other than the triangle move one position away in the $2^{nd}$ block.

⇒ Comparing the $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ blocks, we find:Again in the $3^{rd}$ block, all the shapes other than the triangle move one position away as compared to the $2^{nd}$ block.

Following the same pattern, let us find the same for the $4^{th}$ block.

Thus, the complete pattern will be:
